Howdy, Void! We're in the south this week, discussing O Brother Where Art Thou, thinking of Dolly, and wondering how the Cohen brothers thought this movie was related to the epic, the Odyssey? Is it about faith, fate, or fortune? We're honestly not sure, but it's got a banger soundtrack. Erin gets another chance to talk about moonshine while Brennan shares that he was this close to being on the national news for all the wrong reasons. We really enjoyed the idea of Pete turning into a horny toad but wished that there was a little more justice for Penny. But let's all agree that George Nelson was honestly the worst. 

Homer adaptations. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss The Odyssey (2026) and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), two adaptations of Homer's epic poems The Illiad and The Odyssey. We allude to the artistry of Christopher Nolan and Joel and Ethan Coen, aka The Coen Brothers - writer and directors of the two films. We discuss the music of both films, namely the O Brother, Where Art Thou album and the score of The Odyssey by Ludwig Göransson. Our conversation focuses on our reactions to The Odyssey, with general enjoyment found across the three hosts. We compare the archetypes across both films, discussing what each adaptation brings to the core characters, settings and ideas. We spend some time talking about O Brother, Where Art Thou's creative flourishes. We return to The Odyssey and laude Samantha Morton's performance as Circe, including the practical visual effects used in her scenes. We then move on to talk about the stacked cast in The Odyssey, including: Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Mia Goth, Logan Marshall-Green, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Lupita Nyong'o, Benny Safdie and John Leguizamo.

Magnus Zetterlund talks with Baron Collins-Hill, the mandolin teacher behind the MandoLessons YouTube channel, running strong for nearly 20 years. Baron picked up mandolin after hearing Chris Thile on Nickel Creek's self-titled album, learned through the early Mandolin Cafe forum community, and started posting lessons on borrowed camera equipment before "online mandolin teaching" was really a thing.They talk about Baron's move to Bangkok and the surprisingly lively Irish and bluegrass jam scene he stumbled into there, how living with just one mandolin has pushed him toward a simpler, more minimal approach to both playing and content creation, and how nearly two decades of teaching has shaped his own playing as much as his students'. Baron also shares his philosophy on tackling regional tune variations at a jam, why he thinks teaching today is more about curation than creation, and how his free MandoLessons content and paid Academy community fit together.If you've ever hesitated to walk into your first jam session, or wondered how a mandolin holds up in tropical humidity, this episode is for you.Visit our website for more episodes:https://mandolinsecrets.com/podcastFind Baron online: https://www.mandolessons.com/Show NotesIn this episode:Baron's origin story: hearing Chris Thile on Nickel Creek's self-titled album, learning basic chords from a family friend, and getting hooked through the early Mandolin Cafe forum around 2000Starting MandoLessons in 2008 — from borrowed MiniDV cameras and Vimeo to a full YouTube studio setupHow teaching for nearly 20 years has shaped Baron's own playing as much as his students'Why the mandolin community has exploded with resources since 2008, and how that's shifted a teacher's role from "creation" to "curation"Baron's move to Bangkok, Thailand, and the thriving Irish and bluegrass jam scene he found there (Irish session and bluegrass jam happening most weeks)Traveling with just one mandolin — and how that minimalism has carried over into a simpler approach to filming and teachingHow mandolins actually hold up in tropical humidityAdvice for beginners hesitant to join a session: go and just listen first, then bring your instrument next timeNavigating regional tune variations at a jam — Baron's approach to picking up an unfamiliar B part on the flyThe difference between Baron's free MandoLessons repertoire site, his paid "Comprehensive Mandolin" course, and the MandoLessons Academy community (tune-of-the-month, currently "Cold Frosty Morning")What's next for Baron: reorganizing and updating the MandoLessons website's growing tune database (~300 tunes and counting)Mentioned in this episode:Nickel Creek (self-titled album) and O Brother, Where Art Thou?Mando Mike, David Benedict — fellow mandolin YouTube educatorsSteve Kaufman's Old Time & Bluegrass CampBluegrass Bangkok / Irish Session Bangkok

Love or hate Christopher Nolan's take on The Odyssey? Agree or disagree with changes he made? It's certainly not the most radical revision of this ancient story, as this Coen Brothers' classic does (not to mention Wishbone). However, this is a great example of how (intentional or not) our narratives often have similarities with different window dressing. Revisit this beloved version set in 1930s Mississippi with OG hosts Richard and David.

We love it when our interests align with a pop culture moment! We're taking this opportunity to dig deep into The Odyssey - maybe you've heard of it? We touch on Emily Wilson's text and the lingering cultural impact of this millennia-old myth, as well as Nolan's specific take and some other adaptations. Homework for the episode: The Odyssey (Homer, translated by Emily Wilson); The Odyssey (2026, dir. Christopher Nolan); Contempt (1963, dir. Jean-Luc Godard), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000, dir. the Coen Brothers)

Paul and Amy head down to the Mississippi Delta with O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Coen Brothers' Depression-era odyssey that transformed Homer's epic into a bluegrass-fueled American fable. They unpack George Clooney's career-defining comedic turn, the film's groundbreaking digital look, and the skillful way the Coens balance myth, music, and absurdity.

O is for O Brother, Where Art Thou?   This week we get together to discuss Ashlyn's pick, the 2001 Coen Brothers comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou?   In the deep south during the 1930s, three escaped convicts search for hidden treasure while a relentless lawman pursues them.

This week, we keep the Odyssey kick going with a more loose adaptation (if you can even call that). This film holds up, carried by beautiful cinematography, hilarious characters, and of course the sound track. O Brother, Where Art Thou (2000), directed by the Coen Brothers.

Is it a good movie if you have to watch it ten times? That's the question Chris and Daniel keep circling back to as they take on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, skipping the marketing noise and the wireframe-cyclops conspiracy theories to actually ask whether the thing works as a film. They dig into what Nolan is doing as a filmmaker, structurally and emotionally, in his adaptation of the oldest story in Western literature, and why a three hour runtime built around a decade-long wait might be the whole point rather than a flaw. The real conversation is about adaptation itself: what happens when a director spends the entire movie making an audience feel exactly what an intractable wait feels like, and why Nolan's obsession with time connects everything from Memento through Tenet to this one. Daniel makes the case that Nolan has finally figured out how to deliver Tenet's disorienting rewatch effect without forcing anyone to actually rewatch anything. Chris and Daniel also compare Nolan's spectacle-forward approach to what a Denis Villeneuve version might have looked like, and get into why single-vision directors are becoming Hollywood's new IP.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey approaches Homer’s epic from a much more literal vantage point than O Brother Where Art Thou, but that doesn’t mean it’s a dutiful, beat-by-beat adaptation. So this week we’re talking through the ways in which Nolan put his personal stamp on one of the most well-known stories in all of literature, from the film’s non-linear structure and preoccupation with time, to the physicality and humanity Nolan brings to this big-screen spectacle about a time of apparent magic. Then in Connections, we look at how these two very different films approach their shared source material, not just in direct character and narrative parallels, but also their interest in the oral tradition and eras coming to an end. Then in Your Next Picture we return to the subject of O Brother ’s music with a recommendation for the 2000 concert film Down From the Mountain. Please share your thoughts about O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Odyssey, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Homer’s Odyssey, a 12,000-line, nearly 3,000-year-old epic poem, is one of the foundational texts of Western literature. (It’s also one of the oldest surviving sequels!) It has inspired a list of movies as varied as Stanley Kubrick‘s 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Coen brothers’ O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. But there haven’t been very many straight screen adaptations of its full story. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is just the second full-length feature film adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey ever made. It is 173 minutes long. It reportedly cost $250 million to make. And it is currently the No. 1 movie in the world, having grossed $666.7 million in just 12 days in theaters. This hour, rock star classicist and translator Emily Wilson joins us to talk Homer, Nolan, and everything in between. Plus: We impanel a full Nose to parse and dissect the movie as only the Nose can.

Los cambios del oscarizado director en la epopeya griega indignan a los puristas. Hablamos de este nuevo clásico con el escritor Javier Negrete. En esta nueva entrega del pódcast Par Impar emitida en esRadio, los presentadores Juanma González y Dani Palacios, junto al escritor y especialista Javier Negrete, analizan una muy peculiar adaptación cinematográfica de La Odisea que supuestamente ha dirigido el cineasta Christopher Nolan. Los contertulios destripan esta hipotética superproducción con un tono cargado de humor y crítica, comparando la visión de Nolan con el mito clásico de Homero. La conversación se centra inicialmente en las decisiones técnicas y narrativas de la película, destacando el uso obsesivo del formato IMAX por parte de Nolan. Este sistema, aunque visualmente imponente, dificulta enormemente la filmación de las coreografías de combate en espacios cerrados. Los presentadores comparan este estilo con el de la película Troya, dirigida por Wolfgang Petersen, donde los enfrentamientos entre Brad Pitt y Eric Bana alcanzaron una cota de realismo y espectacularidad difícil de superar. Uno de los temas clave del debate es la representación de la ley de Zeus o la hospitalidad griega (xenia), un elemento sagrado en los poemas homéricos. El invitado Javier Negrete, autor de la novela Odisea editada por HarperCollins, explica cómo en la película de Nolan este concepto se simplifica para convertirlo en una suerte de justificación moral para la matanza final de los pretendientes, adaptándolo al estilo oscuro y denso del director. En cuanto al reparto, destaca la elección de Matt Damon para encarnar a un Ulises que se aleja del héroe astuto clásico para mostrarse como un soldado traumatizado y consumido por la culpa tras la caída de Troya, un enfoque muy en la línea de producciones como Oppenheimer. La actriz Anne Hathaway asume el papel de Penélope, logrando dotar de gran carga dramática a sus escenas frente a un joven Telémaco interpretado por Tom Holland. La película no escatima en licencias creativas y polémicas, como la inclusión del personaje de Sinón, interpretado por Elliot Page, que pertenece en realidad al ciclo troyano de la Eneida de Virgilio. Por su parte, la actriz Zendaya da vida a una Atenea que en esta versión no es una deidad física, sino una representación psicológica de la mala conciencia del protagonista, un recurso muy habitual en la filmografía de Nolan. La mitología fantástica se reinterpreta bajo un prisma de terror y ciencia ficción. El Cíclope es retratado como un gigante mutante con una deformidad ocular vertical, un diseño que combina efectos prácticos con CGI y que recuerda al Grendel de la película Beowulf de Robert Zemeckis. Del mismo modo, la escena de Circe —interpretada por Samantha Morton— se transforma en un pasaje de body horror donde los hombres se convierten en cerdos mediante impactantes efectos físicos. Finalmente, el análisis de la secuencia de las Sirenas y el regreso a Ítaca desvela la maestría de Nolan en el uso del recurso sonoro, ensordeciendo el ambiente para resaltar la música mientras los marineros usan cera en los oídos. Para cerrar la emisión, los presentadores repasan otras adaptaciones populares de la obra, como la comedia O Brother, Where Art Thou? de los hermanos Coen o la mítica versión teatral de El Joglars en los años setenta, concluyendo que esta original propuesta consigue acercar la literatura clásica al gran público.

Considering The Odyssey is one of the most famous and influential stories of all time, there had been relatively few attempts to directly translate Homer’s epic poem to the big screen until Christopher Nolan came along to do it at a blockbuster scale. It’s been more common for filmmakers, such as Joel and Ethan Coen, to use it as the loose framework for a flawed hero’s journey home, such as the one undertaken by Ulysses Everett McGill in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a Depression-era musical comedy that maps on to Homer’s version only in the broadest of strokes. But revisiting O Brother through the lens of its stated source material, as we’re doing this week, is a revealing lesson in the malleability of adaptation, as well as the Coens’ ability to make even one of the most familiar tales in all of storytelling uniquely theirs. Then in Feedback, we finally break our silence on the indie-horror phenomenon that is Obsession.

A good chunk of Supergirl’s DNA can be traced back to True Grit by way of the comics miniseries the film is adapting, which is why we paired it with Joel and Ethan Coen’s 2010 version of that story. But as our discussion of Craig Gillespie’s new entry in James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe details, Supergirl often feels less indebted to its space-western source material than to several other superhero films that preceded it, including some of Gunn’s. That makes it tough to balance a film we all consider okay-at-best against a stone-cold Coens classic, but we attempt to anyway in Connections as we consider these two films’ shared interest in vengeance, western tropes, and really, really bad guys with murky motivations. Then in Your Next Picture Show, we honorTrue Grit’s star-making performance with a recommendation for another Hailee Steinfeld film that’s a favorite of this podcast, The Edge of Seventeen. Please share your thoughts about True Grit, Supergirl, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Christopher Nolan is bringing Homer's Odyssey to IMAX with Matt Damon. It'll be an event, and it should be.Before that lands, I want to point you somewhere stranger.O Brother, Where Art Thou? carries Homer's name on the box and almost nothing else. The Coens borrowed a couple of characters, a familiar shape, and then took off in their own direction entirely. Chain gang escapees. Bad hair product decisions. A radio station. It is not an adaptation so much as a rumor of one, and it's better for it.I'll be honest about my own bias here. Everything about this premise told me to skip it. Depression era. Slapstick. A chain gang escape. I was wrong in a way I still haven't fully worked out, and that's most of why I wanted to make this episode.No spoilers in this one. What I do get into: why a movie with barely any plot holds together this well, a piece of filmmaking history that happened quietly on this production and now touches nearly every movie you watch, how the music outgrew the film that birthed it, and a bit of union bureaucracy that erased one of the two people who actually directed it.Nolan's version will be the monument. This one's the detour worth taking first.Available to rent on most streaming platforms. Watch it, then let's talk about it. Enjoy this classic.More reviews and recommendations on the way. If you're enjoying the show, a review wherever you listen genuinely helps.Thanks for listening.

Damn! We're in a tight spot! This week we are seeking treasure with Ulysses Everett McGill and his two companions, Pete and Delmar, in the 2000 Coen Brothers musical comedy O Brother, Where Art Thou? Based loosely upon The Odyssey, this movie was a big hit for The Coens at the time and the soundtrack was massive. But did anyone actually listen to it or was it all just awards hype? Does the early digital colour correction hold up or is it now a bit of an eyesore? Where does this movie rank in the Coen Brothers' filmography? Is it George Clooney's best comedic performance of all time? See you in the funny pages, boys... it's a bushwhack on this week's episode of Film Junk.

We're in a tight spot. This week on Be Kind Rewind, Dave & Cody dig into the Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), the Depression-era chain gang comedy that's (not so) secretly Homer's Odyssey and accidentally revived an entire genre of American music. We break down what holds up (this is George Clooney's coming out party), the murderer's row of character actors, Roger Deakins making Mississippi look like a sepia dream, and a soundtrack that won Album of the Year at the Grammys as a bluegrass record. We get into what's harder to sit with in 2026, the wild behind-the-scenes stuff (the Coens claim they never read the Odyssey, Clooney said yes without reading the script, the KKK scene is staged like The Wizard of Oz), and a Pastor's Corner on Ulysses Everett McGill as an Ecclesiastes figure who chases every title but bona fide and only finds his knees when the rope comes out. Plus: Adam Sandler officiated the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding and we have questions, we Muppetize the movie (Dave cheats), and we guess Clooney's top five highest-grossing films, with a number one that made us both genuinely angry.https://linktr.ee/PopCulturePastorPod

Before Christopher Nolan's latest epic retelling of Homer's Odyssey, Let's chat about one of the world's oldest work of literature and review the 2000 loosely based adaptation from the Coen Brothers, O Brother Where Art Thou. Starring George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson, with Charles Durning, Michael Badalucco, John Goodman and Holly Hunter in supporting roles.It follows three escaped convicts searching for hidden treasure while a sheriff relentlessly pursues them. Its story is a modern satire which, while incorporating social features of the American South, is loosely based on Homer's epic Greek poem the Odyssey.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU Ulysses Everett McGill is serving a hard-labor sentence in Mississippi when he convinces two fellow prisoners to escape with him. Claiming that a fortune in buried treasure is waiting, he leads the trio across the state. Still shackled together, they race to find the money while staying one step ahead of the authorities.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? opened in five theaters on December 22, 2000, went on to make $71.9 million worldwide on a $26 million budget, and somehow got outdone by its own soundtrack — which sold over 8 million copies and beat out Bob Dylan and U2 for the Grammy for Album of the Year, only the third movie soundtrack ever to do it.Josh, Garrett, and David kick off Mythology Month with the Coens' loose, sun-bleached riff on the Odyssey. David's watched it since he was eleven and it's in his Letterboxd top four. Josh has loved it since childhood cassette-recording "Man of Constant Sorrow" off the radio. Garrett watched it for the first time this week — and tried to track the Homer parallels in real time, which he'll tell you was a mistake. They get into the Cyclops-with-an-eye-patch stuff, the Homer Stokes subplot and what it says about 1930s (and 2026) politics, and why George Clooney's pomade matters more than you'd think.Let us know what you think.

We're veering south on SUMMER VACATION to discuss Mitt Romney's favorite movie, the Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) with Mississippi-based musician Andrew Bryant, founding member of Water Liars.

HAPPY GILMORE Happy Gilmore only wants one thing: to play hockey. But when his grandmother is about to lose her house, he discovers his slap shot gives him an outrageous edge on the golf course. Now he has to turn his anger issues into prize money, while dragging the polite world of professional golf into total chaos. Craig, Elisabeth and guest Jeff Penn talk about golf, mannequin hands, Christopher McDonald's induction into the William Atherton Asshole Hall of Fame and the movie “Happy Gilmore” on this week's Matinee Heroes! Show Notes 0:59 Craig, Elisabeth and Jeff Penn induct Christopher McDonald into the 2nd Annual William Atherton Asshole Hall of Fame. 19:16 Craig, Elisabeth and Jeff discuss "Happy Gilmore." 54:41 Recasting 1:10:30 Double Feature 1:14:59 Final Thoughts 1:27:13 A preview of next week's episode "O Brother, Where Art Thou." Next week, we celebrate Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey" with a different telling of Homer's tale with "O Brother, Where Art Thou."

Whether we choose to admit it or not, we're driven by some level of faith that something lies beyond our current plane of existence. Some of us simply hope so, some profess not to care, others will go wholeheartedly into some form of religion. And the search for God--however you view that particular concept--is a compelling one, especially when you tell a story about someone whose faith is being tested. To that end the Coen Brothers have come up with A Serious Man, the first of two films we'll be looking at in this episode. The Coens are known for cribbing from other stories to create their own tales, and in this case the Coens have come up with a story that will give you echoes of the Biblical story of Job. It's not as direct a pull as their using Homer's Odyssey as the germ of O Brother, Where Art Thou? but you'll still recognize the broader pieces of the tale. In the second half of the episode we'll look at a less-linear story in The Tree of Life.

This week on The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie Foster, Laurie Horne, and Chris take a playful trip through the animal kingdom with a trivia-style episode all about the names for male and female animals. Some are familiar — like a buck and doe, bull and cow, or stallion and mare — while others are far less obvious, including cob and pen for swans, jack and jill for opossums, and even cock and hen for lobsters. Along the way, the conversation wanders in true Backyard Naturalists fashion, from international listeners in places like Vietnam, Iraq, Uzbekistan, and Zambia to jellyfish at the Tampa aquarium, a "passel of possums," and whether anyone could ever win a Jeopardy category devoted entirely to Young Sheldon, Tombstone, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? It's a lighthearted, funny, and surprisingly educational episode that proves nature vocabulary can be just as wild as the animals themselves. In this episode, you'll hear about: Animal-name trivia for ants, bears, coyotes, deer, donkeys, elephants, foxes, goats, geese, horses, jellyfish, lobsters, mallards, opossums, pigs, seahorses, squirrels, swans, tigers, and zebras The difference between familiar terms like boar and sow, drake and hen, and billy and nanny Why some animals share naming patterns across species A few surprising terms, including vixen, cob, pen, sea mare, and sea stallion A fun detour into group names, including a passel of possums The podcast's growing international audience and a warm invitation to visit Backyard Birds in Matthews, North Carolina Whether you already know your ganders from your geese or you're just here for the laughs, this episode is a fun reminder that the natural world is full of curious details hiding in plain sight.

We aren't men of constant sorrow, but we ARE Bros of Constant ROFL-ing! We are so excited to be jumping into the Coen Brothers' bluegrass, deep-South-meets-Ancient-Greek epic, O Brother, where art thou? Along the way, we discuss excellent screams, pivots into surrealism, and the fascinating camp of river baptisms. Head to our PATREON for the full video episode!

It's the middle of award season, and Ryan Coogler's ode to the Black music canon Sinners has emerged as the Oscars frontrunner and the most nominated film in Academy Awards history. The love the movie has for the Delta blues is front and center, and begs the question: will the movie's legacy help bring the blues back into popular culture? There's already been a precedent for films reviving dead genres – think The Sting and its ragtime score, or O Brother Where Art Thou's relationship to bluegrass – and on this episode of Switched On Pop, Reanna and Nate talk with Vulture writer Fran Hoepfner about the times in which movie soundtracks have shifted the musical culture.
